TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Greetings! Jalen Brunson, President Trump holding on line 2. Will The Donald invite the NBA champion NY Knicks for a White House photo op? If he does, will they go? (Hope not!!!!) Worth noting: Last year’s NBA champs, the Oklahoma Thunder declined Trump’s invite...Speaking of NY athletes, House Republicans are eagerly awaiting the election of former NY Yankee All-Star first baseman Mark Teixeira to become the representative in Texas’ 21st  Congressional district north of San Antonio. The Trump-endorsed Teixeira won the GOP primary and is considered a lock to win in November since no Democrat has held the position since 1978, And the power-hitting politician is expected to boost the fortunes of the GOP’s Congressional baseball team, which has already beaten the Democrats six years in a row, according to The Hill...Desecration: There’s no other word to describe my feelings about the South Lawn of the White House lawn being used last night for UFC’s violent cage fights in celebration of Trump’s 80th birthday. I watched the first hour of this grotesque spectacle and that was enough. This morning on Truth Social, Trump described the event as “One of the most exciting days in the History of our fabled White House!” (Cue the gagging)...Bowing tonight: Fans of MS NOW’s fast-talking Ali Veshi will want to catch tonight’s debut of the weeknight show The 11th Hour with Ali Veshi. Veshi takes over from Stephanie Ruhle, who I liked but never matched the pizzazz of her predecessor Brian Williams. Williams helmed the 11 PM slot from  2016 to 2021, most often pegged to the perpetual  craziness of the Trump 1.0 administration, laden with his trademark wry wit...If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting. Howard

The complaints about Freedom 250 are arriving so quickly that it’s hard to keep up. The UFC fight on the White House lawn is offensive. Celebrating Trump’s birthday is offensive.

Transgender Individuals Need to Get Real

source: Conservative View from NH

Since the 70s, there has been an explosion in the number of gay people in America, and now we have a growing number of young people who do not identify with their birth gender and want a change. I believe both trends are driven by social media and are not “real” biological issues that warrant attention.
